**UPDATE FOR YOU NOSEY ASS PEEPS...hehe, just kidding, just an update**
So I went in to the doc today...the shortness of breath, heart beating fast and all that jazz was from some wicked awful stealth like allergies sneaking into my lungs. I have no watery eyes, no sneezing...you know, the stuff that says ALLERGIES. So anyway, got a fancy inhaler for that.
The lump in my throat seems to be something to do with my thyroid, so they took some blood from me today and they are doing a scan tomorrow. We shall see. In any case, if they can just take away this feeling of gigantic Mexican food chip stuck in my throat - things would be all right in the world of Jess.
So for like a week now I have felt like something is stuck in my throat. Like when peanut butter or a piece of bread gets stuck. It is UBER irritating. This morning I woke up and it doesn't seem to be as bad, however, I don't feel like I am getting enough oxygen in my lungs and my chest is kinda tight.
I am thinking the Ear, Nose, Throat doctor would be the one to go to for all of these needs, as the not enough air thing seems to be a direct result of my throat feeling like it is smaller than usual. This is all just weird and I don't know what the hell is going on.
I am afraid I am going to spend a bunch of money going to the ENT for him/her to tell me that I have a gigantic snot ball lodged in the back of my throat and if I just wait it out, it will be fine. OR they are going to tell me my esophagus has detached and my throat is going to falling off.
HOWEVER, I have noticed that I get indigestion after I eat EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I NEVER have indigestion. Except when I drink alot of sour mix in a martini...then that is hell, but I got indigestion last night after eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Who the hell gets indigestion after eating THAT? Maybe salsa...but peanut butter and honey?!
Retardiculous.
In between me writing the above and now I spoke with bossman Joe, who's Mom and Dad are Doctors and I am going to see his Mom at 1:30 today.
Let's go through the symptoms:
Lump in throat feelings
Throat tightness
Chest tightness
Indegestion
Feeling of not getting enough oxygen
The only change I have had is getting that Implanon put in. That thing better not be trying to kill me.
For the love of God, entertain me.

My theory is still that you have a cartoon alien using your throat as a womb.
Either that, or you are pregnant, in which you would have some 'splainin to do.
Just don't keel over in the office. Move those damn files first.
Love you, mean it!
Larker - for sure think it is an alien. We will see what they think about that at the Dr. office. I am not moving the files. They make a pretty wall in our office.
You could have acid reflux. This can worsen if you don't treat it. I would just go to a family doc right now, he or she will probably prescribe you Aciphex, which is an awesome antacid that'll help it...and cure it... however, I will say this: when I stopped drinking, my acid reflux went away. I even got an ulcer drinking too much alcohol. If you can limit your alcohol intake just by half or even a quarter, that'll help. The weird feeling in your throat sounds like the acid has taken affect of your esophagus. I ain't no doctor, but I think you should see one asap, before it worsens.
I hope you feel better! Don't ignore it!
Deb - could be! I never noticed indigestion before, but it is most certainly noticeable now! I am going today at 1:30 for a look at my throat issue. I am going to bring up all the other things too, including the Implanon...the progesterone has similar side effects.
I think it's a tiny Jess trying to claw its way out of your throat.
WTF? I have NO clue why I typed that.
MD - hummm, what shall I name her?! LJ, Wee Lil J, Jam Master Baby J?
OMG, if you ever adopt a daughter, I already feel sorry for Jam Master Baby J, or JAMB J, for short.
Jam Master Baby J rocks! Totally rocks.
Thyroid, huh? I have hypothyroidism and it's a pain in the ass.
Glad you went to the doc.
MD - that is what they are starting with...who knows. I just know it needs to get gone! I tried to look up some stuff on hypo and hyper and blah blah and most of that stuff describes me on a regular basis. I like to sleep, I hate the cold, I loose weight, I gain weight...I mean, really, it could be anything. BUT we gotta start somewhere...
Good call going to the Doc.
